Software Description

AXS is a realtime virtual analog synthesizer for the PC. Integrated are a sampler, effect unit and a sequencer. The synthesizer is polyphonic (7 channel multitimbral) and has 2 osc's per voice (tri, saw, pulsewidth, noise, sine), oscillator syncing, ring modulation, filters (12 dB LP, 12 dB HP, 24 dB LP, BandPass, BandReject), distortion, echo/delay effects and more. Also included is a sample-playback system (drum-sampler) with filtering and an AD envelope.

To control the synthesizer and the sampler, you can use the build-in sequencer or completely control AXS using an external MIDI sequencer.

From the author:WE DO NOT PROVIDE ANY SUPPORT FOR THE FREE AXS VERSION (only to registered users).
IF AXS DOES NOT WORK ON YOUR COMPUTER BUY A REAL OLD-SCHOOL SB16 AND TRY YOUR LUCK WITH THAT (PC128, Live, etc.are all non-SB16 compatible !)

AXS 3.0 is the phattest shit on the planet

Posted by AXS Addict on Wed, 04/03/2002 - 05:20.

This program is the shit!!!!If you know what you're
doing this is the perfect computer tool. Aside from
using Rebirth I am new to the computer music production scene, but have dove in head first with this program. All you need is available on the screen and you can write your tracks
right to a disk!!! I suggest this for people who are
learning, or who have been around the production block.

You're quite right about that, tho i might tell a little about version 3, the Filter is not as correct as in version 2.02 and 03 .. alltho if you are good with OSC's and soundshaping this synth kicks the butt of allmost any softsynths i ever heard.. this is due to the dual LFO and the distortion algorithm in the synthesis.. this synth is a real must if you like those real tweaky acidized sounds ... all hands up for resolution audio for releasing sutch a nice baby :)~

Audiophile 2496

Posted by Jiri Klokocka on Sat, 08/04/2001 - 12:05.

Hello!

I have "Audiophile 2496" sound card on my PC and I didn't get any sound. Actually the software didn't want to start at all. Is AXS an MS-DOS program or is it written for Windows?

Best regards,
Jiri

Can't render to Wav :-(

I've tried both methods in the manual, but it doesn't work :-(

It's a great soft synth though...

AXS 3.0 for WIN

Posted by mandraquéro on Fri, 05/25/2001 - 11:53.

is available, quite small prog, like it has to be. Dream Station was too big and slow.
Now when AXS is in WIN, i hope that MIDI is going to be OK.. i really hope. Sounds are so good and interface pleasant.

Axs error... No VESA

Posted by Scott on Mon, 05/21/2001 - 00:44.

I am running Axs on Windows 98. When I run it, it begins to load then gives me the message..NO VESA AVAILABLE. Does anyone know how to remedy this ?

Re: Axs error... No VESA

Posted by Monolyte Altaraz on Wed, 12/01/2004 - 07:45.

ahh, well there is maybe one thing you can do to fix that .. it's called Display Doctor ... you see the program is based around a S3 chipset .. if the doctor program does not fix it , then try to get a hold of an old s3 card or something compatible

AXS

What this means?!
What i have to write and where?

"Requires BLASTER= in DOS environment"

Re: AXS

Posted by hAloo? on Thu, 01/11/2001 - 18:28.

I think i have to tell you more..
I have SB Platinum and its MIDI in/out
-then i heard that maybe its SB16 emulation driver
is not enough, so i bought real SB16.
Now i have both and MIDI cable in SB16.
But still no MIDI in.
It gives something like this:

Why there is no decent setup program?
I barely know what is DOS
-so editing anything in there is pure scifi to me!

MIDI & SB Live

Posted by Benedict on Fri, 11/26/1999 - 01:01.

I have a SB Live Value and get good sound from AXS 2.03 but despite eveything saying it started up OK there is no MIDI. Someone said to me it's because of no DOS MIDI drivers. I have no SB manual (?) and Creative have yet to answer me on this. A solution would be good as I like this synth.

Why you can´t release download

controllers for sampler and synthesizers,
what do you mean?

won't run on brand new ibm aptiva

Posted by Paul Mak on Wed, 03/03/1999 - 01:52.

what's going on? the new aptiva has a soundblaster compatible sound card but when i type in sb in the axs.ini file i get the error message stating "this sound card does not support 16 bit" blah blah blah.
does anyone know of a way to get around this? help me out, thanks.

I can't hear anything from axs. Help! Please!

Posted by Tony on Wed, 02/17/1999 - 23:21.

I don't have a proper soundblaster and AXS refuses to work on my new computer. It works fine on my old one.
My new computer has a built in 'soundcard' thing that is fine in Windows and has 16bit sound, but Axs runs in Dos and the sound card I have only works at 8bit in Dos. Axs needs 16 bit. Help.
